Key Responsibilities


Technical Leadership & Project Delivery

  • Lead geotechnical exploration programs, including scoping, planning, and execution (test borings, CPT, test pits, geophysics where applicable).

  • Settlement analyses, bearing capacity, liquefaction screening
  • Retaining structures and earth support systems
  • Slope stability and embankment design
  • Earthwork/fill placement, ground improvement, and compaction requirements
  • Pavement subgrade and pavement design support
  • Seismic site classification and geologic hazards screening (as applicable)
  • Prepare and/or oversee production of geotechnical reports, calculations, specifications, and technical memoranda.
  • Provide construction-phase services: observation, subgrade verification, foundation bearing evaluations, addressing RFIs, and field problem-solving.


Project Management

  • Manage multiple projects concurrently, including budgets, schedules, staffing, and deliverables.
  • Coordinate with drilling subcontractors, labs, survey, and other consultants.
  • Review and approve field logs, lab testing, data interpretation, and report content.
  • Identify and manage project risks, changes in scope, and client expectations.


Client & Business Development

  • Serve as a key point of contact for clients—communicating findings, risks, and recommendations clearly.
  • Support proposals, scopes, and fee estimates; contribute to business development and client retention.
  • Collaborate with internal teams (civil, environmental, structural) to support integrated project delivery.


Mentorship & Team Development

  • Mentor and train junior engineers and staff; provide technical guidance and QA/QC review.
  • Promote safety and quality standards across field and office activities.



Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license (active, in good standing).
  • 8 years of progressive geotechnical engineering experience (consulting environment strongly preferred).
  • Proven ability to lead geotechnical investigations, interpret subsurface data, and develop defensible engineering recommendations.
  • Demonstrated project management experience (scope, schedule, budget, and staff coordination).
  • Strong technical writing skills; experience producing high-quality geotechnical reports.
  • Ability to perform and oversee field work and site visits as required.
